The literature on vibrational thermodynamics of materials is reviewed. The emphasis is on
metals and alloys, especially on the progress over the last decade in understanding …

In this work we reexamine the LDA+ U method of Anisimov and co-workers in the framework
of a plane-wave pseudopotential approach. A simplified rotational-invariant formulation is …

In this paper, we present a study of the β phase of cerium. We show that this is a correlated
phase like γ cerium. Their structural parameters and the antiferromagnetic ground state of β …

We present a simple implementation of the dynamical mean-field-theory approach to the
electronic structure of strongly correlated materials. This implementation achieves full self …

We emphasize, on the basis of experimental data and theoretical calculations, that the
entropic stabilization of the γ phase is the main driving force of the α-γ transition of cerium in …

We propose a simplified version of self-interaction corrected local spin-density (SIC-LSD)
approximation, based on multiple scattering theory, which implements self-interaction …

Using a novel approach to calculate optical properties of strongly correlated systems, we
address the old question of the physical origin of the α→ γ transition in Ce. We find that the …

We investigate the Cerium γ–α isostructural phase transition by explicitly incorporating finite
temperature mixing of the Ce nonmagnetic and magnetic states. Unique to our approach is …

X-ray diffraction measurements of cerium in the vicinity of the isostructural γ-α transition have
been performed with high precision and accuracy from room temperature to almost 800 K …
